A New Blog, A New Era --> SweetLikeCandi.com

My food journey took a turn for the positive last year when I went to an Iridologist and finally discovered that I have Candida - and this pesky little bacteria inside my body was mimicking all the symptoms of the food allergies!

Thank you for all of your support on this blog and I really look forward to interacting with you on my new one. I am loving having more freedom to be creative as my diet is far less restrictive - the main allergens I now eliminate are yeast, sugar and gluten.

My Kitchen

About the Name

The name Leaine's Kitchen actually came about before I found out I had these allergies. I have always loved cooking and one day I decided to try my hand at catering, by cooking for the people at work. My food was thoroughly enjoyed, although my electricity bill went up 100% - which put paid to that idea :)

My Blog

Welcome to my blog.My blog is dedicated to my recent change in eating habits; in October 2009, I was diagnosed with type 3 food allergies to garlic, yeast, dairy, gluten and eggs and most of my recipes avoid these ingredients.I want to help you through my own food experiences, therefore please let me know what you think of my blog posts and recipes. I encourage all comments!Now it's time to pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable as I take you on a journey of self discovery and enjoyment through my love of food.I aim to make your life a whole lot easier and flavoufull!

Praise for Leaine's Kitchen

- I am blown away by your recipes, and so happy to have you contributing to our site. I too am an allergy sufferer, namely to dairy and to a lesser extent gluten. So your recipes really provide some good ideas. And it's really tough supplying our readers with allergy specific recipes, as most of the sites I supply from are American and thus use strange ingredients not yet available here. Caitlin de Kok, Recipes Editor, www.mycookbook.co.za

- It is really wonderful to have a blog like this as there are many people out there with allergies and we often get questions... I really like your blog and the recipes are great.Caro de Waal, Resident Chef, Food24.com

- I really enjoyed [your blog] and although at present I am a very lazy cook I just find it so amazing all the positive and beautiful thoughts and information you put on there. Your homage to autumn is just so beautiful and true.Monika Becker

- ... congratulations on taking control of your health. Your experiences and knowledge is something we definitely need to share with more people. I went onto your website and it is full of great information. If you would like to write an article on type III allergies I will put onto our site.Matthew Ballenden (Fresh Earth)

- I have just been onto your blog and my mouth is watering. My colleague Dr Botha and myself are blown-away by the blog and we will be sending patients to it frequently. It looks like a lot of hard work and passion has been put into the website as well as into the food! Congratulations! Dr Davidson (Homeopath)
